BACHELOR COOKS
A cookery class for men only has been started with the opening of London County Council evening institutes. 11 is a most popular class with bachelors. Only one married man is a cookery student among fifteen bachelors. He thought he would like to be 1 able to do a little cooking when his wife was ill. The bachelors, favour “ nice, tasty little suppers,” and like to make what they call “stray things” (left over), and to know how to use up an “ old shoulder.” When the school holds the annual exhibition the men cooks will show cheesestraws, jellies, blanc manges, and sausage rolls Mr J. P. Thomas, the principal, told a ‘Daily Mail ’ reporter that the men bought what they made to take home. “ 1 asked one young man if he practised cooking at home, and he said they would not let him for fear be should show his womenfolk up.”.
